Cold Idle Miss

I have an early 99 F450 with a 7.3. When I first start my truck up every morning, it misses really bad and the rpms won't go above 700 while idling. I remember my other truck used to cold idle at about 1000 rpms and gradually come down to about 680 as it warmed up. I'm thinking maybe a coolant temp sensor??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I agree, it's most likely a glow plug issue.

Before you order, check this thread. You have to pull the valve covers off to get at the glow plugs anyway.
